A staple of the latest Huawei phones is the dual camera setup. The P10 has the dual iteration with the latest Leica software. Its f/2.2 aperture lenses are the same as you'll find in the Mate 9 and Honor 8 phones.

The P10 Plus is the most advanced Huawei camera setup to date. It ups the ante with brighter, faster lenses: both are f/1.8 Summilux optics.

Both phones also host a Leica front-facing camera for the first time. And both phones add in a new Portrait mode for face-tracking exposure perfection, and Highlights reel for auto-tagging and video generation in the Gallery (which only implements when the phone is charging, to ignore any CPU intensity).

Huawei P10 vs Huawei P10 Plus: Plus only

P10 Plus only: Infrared (IR) controller

P10 Plus only: 4x4 MIMO (up to 600Mbit download speeds)

Both: 2x2 MIMO Wi-Fi

The P10 Plus can also squeeze in 4x4 MIMO for faster download speeds (up to 600Mbit/s) due to its larger shell and double antenna capacity compared to the standard P10. Both phones offer speedy 2x2 MIMO Wi-Fi, however.

The P10 Plus also comes with an IR blaster control, which the standard model lacks. Again, it's down to available space and design.

Huawei P10 vs Huawei P10 Plus: What's new?

EMUI 5.1 software

Front-placed fingerprint scanner

8 colour options (not all territories)

Hyper diamond cut finish

Compared to the earlier P9 and P9 Plus models, the P10 and P10 Plus introduce some new features. The software is EMUI 5.1, which is the next notch up the company's reskin over Android 7.1.

The fingerprint scanner is also now on the front, rather than the back, acting as a haptic-feedback control key. By default there are no Android softkeys (home/back/apps) on the screen - but these can be actioned from within the settings.
